Modeling the consequences of age-linked rDNA hypermethylation with dCas9-directed DNA methylation in human cells

2023-10-19

Abstract excerpt

Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) genes encode the structural RNAs of the ribosome and are present in hundreds of copies in mammalian genomes. Age-linked DNA hypermethylation throughout the rDNA constitutes a robust “methylation clock” that accurately reports age, yet the consequences of hypermethylation on rDNA function are unknown. We confirmed that pervasive hypermethylation of rDNA occurs during mammalian aging and senesce...
